Running to hug her grandpa is West Boulevard first grader Emmalynne Rider as Leslie Perry takes his hat off and returns the hug. Perry served as a Navy field medic and had not put his uniform on for 50 years. He said it fit, but was “a little snug.” The two enjoyed a lunch together as Emmalynne’s mom Erin Rider helped with the program as a PTA volunteer.
